Are they really that good,or is it clever sales hype?

They had one connected up to a 42" Pioneer plasma and the picture was awesome,but how much of that is the lead?

 

No scart lead is worth £120... I got all mine from www.cableuniverse.co.uk and the quality is excellent.

 

scart = ****e

 

What do you use then?

 

i paid £100 out for a top quality componet lead which was no better than my £20 s video lead

 

Mutton dressed as Lamb.

The cable screaning and resistivity/capacitance is no better than most, and the gold plating makes barely any difference. All soldered up in a far eastern sweat shop for ultimate quality

Seriously, budget for £25 and you won't go far wrong. Or failing that buy your own decent quality cable and connectors and build your own - which will far surpass anything you'll ever buy.

 

Monster = Rip off

ive got the monster cables on my tv cinema system thingy set up and the noise reduction was really noticible. no more hiss and better all round i think

 

gold capped Monster cables costing an arm and a leg .. being pushed into a boggo -standard scart connector on the back of a crappo tv or what have you ... theres no point..... only really worth it if you have 'decent' kit to be plugging them in to....

 

SCART ? How quaint - is this for a betamax or something ?

LOL

 

HDMI.. anyone??

 

yup and firewire everywhere else

 

mine are gold capped as well and i have a pretty decent system

ive also got the monster power power pack for all the plugs and ariels to plug into and it was money well spent

 

cool.. all im getting at is theres little point in getting good quality cabling and sticking it in a £20 portable from the local car boot..

 

niiiice

 

i once put speakers in my car and the speaker wire caught on fire

thats why my plugs and stuff are all colour coded now

 

hmmm there is hardly anything at a reasonable price at the moment that is DHMI ready, and certainly the dvd players are well over the top and thats if you have bought the new tv to go with it cant go wrong with componet

 

yep component leads for me
and once the new sky box comes HDMI for the projector

 

I once bought a Monster Scart to S video Cable and it made a big improvment to the picture , although QED cables get better reviews .
